Rurrenabaque where motorbike taxis sometimes also carry out express kidnappings.

What to do:

Do not use unlicensed taxis in Bolivia and stick to radio taxis at all times.

Licensed taxis have a sticker in the window and the name of the company and phone number displayed on the roof.

Note that it is common practice for taxis to pick up other passengers even when hired which can be unsafe – make it clear to the driver that you do not want them to pick up any other passengers en route to your destination
